Chapter 1073 Buddy, Let's Come Again!
Sun Tzu's art of war has a saying, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.
This sentence is also applicable in professional football, which is known as a war without gunpowder.
Before each game, the head coach will fully understand and research both the enemy and the enemy, and then find out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, guard against the strengths, and use the weaknesses to attack.
Therefore, to a certain extent, before a professional football match, the head coach has already prepared a certain amount of mental preparation for the result of the match. Even, for some experienced coaches, when the match schedule comes out, They already have a detailed overall plan for the trend of the entire season.
Which games should try their best to compete for three points, which games are considered qualified to get one point, and which games are acceptable to lose. These are all in the head coach's season plan.
But the problem is that with such a long season, players will inevitably suffer injuries and ups and downs, and the team may experience one or another special situation, which will affect the team's combat effectiveness and lead to team mistakes.
This involves the problem of error tolerance.
Generally speaking, the stronger the team's overall strength, the more stable the tactical system, the higher the fault tolerance rate.
Just like Pep Guardiola, although his record in Bayern Munich is not very satisfactory, but if you study his coaching performance carefully, it is not difficult to find that his performance in coaching Bayern is very stable, and he basically wins the games that should be won. down.
In other words, Guardiola's coaching is characterized by a high fault tolerance rate.
On the other hand, Pellegrini's Manchester City has a very low fault tolerance rate. They frequently lose points in some games that should have been won, or even easily won. This is indeed quite inappropriate, and it also led to Manchester City's poor performance in the league this season s reason.
Of course, no matter which head coach it is, it is impossible to be foolproof, and there will always be times when mistakes are made.
The more you are in that kind of strong dialogue game, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the easier it is for mistakes to lead to a loss.
This is why the Champions League knockout matchup is so fascinating!
After Inter Milan beat Juventus 3-0 in the away game and won the Serie A championship in the new season two rounds ahead of schedule, all Nerazzurri fans called on the team to make persistent efforts. upton.
But hope is hope, reality is always cruel.
As Klopp predicted before the game,
Ancelotti continued to arrange a substitute lineup to play in the FA Cup semi-finals, just to play the main force in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Although Inter Milan has just had a deadly match with Juventus, it still played its main role in the middle of the week.
The difference is that although Ancelotti is playing away, he focuses on offense. Although Inter Milan is playing at home, Klopp's tactics are mainly to contain the Saints' offense.
Everyone in Europe knows that no team can beat the Saints against each other.
Inter Milan's own strength is at a certain disadvantage. If it really confronts the Saints, wouldn't it be lighting the lamp in the toilet and courting death?
The Nerazzurri have obviously made sufficient preparations for the game. Klopp's team performed quite well in terms of defense and oppression, especially in the horizontal cutting that Klopp is best at, which frequently cut off the Saints. Pass the ball forward.
This also made it difficult for the Saints to create a threatening offense throughout the game.
Unknowingly, 70 minutes have passed, but neither side has made substitutions and adjustments. The intentions of the head coaches of both sides are already obvious, that is...
…………
…………
"They're all betting!"
Messi raised his head, looked at the dazzling lights above the Milan Glory Stadium, squinted his eyes, and such a thought flashed through his mind.
The strength of both sides is very good, Ancelotti chooses to attack, Klopp chooses to defend, the tactics of both sides are also very targeted, and the players did not make big mistakes in terms of execution.
This is why the game is still zero to zero.
As for why there is no substitution, it is not difficult to understand.
Inter Milan dare not change.
Because Klopp knows very well that this is already the strongest lineup he can form at present, and he finally found the rhythm of defending Southampton's offensive. If he chooses to substitute, it may disrupt this rhythm. It fell short.
As for Southampton, it is also not difficult to understand.
Ancelotti said before the game that an away draw is acceptable, and he will try his best to win at home.
But he also said that Inter Milan had just beaten Juventus three days ago, which required a lot of physical energy. Coupled with Klopp's tactical characteristics, the physical requirements are very high, so the team will concentrate on the last ten minutes. work hard.
He should have planned a substitution by now!
Messi turned his head sideways and glanced at Ancelotti who was standing on the sidelines.
Sure enough, the Italian fat man was whispering something to his assistant coach, and the teammates on the bench behind him also started to jump around.
These are all signals for replacements!
But Messi does not intend to wait for the coach's substitution adjustment.
He wanted to push harder.
"Danilo!" Messi gestured towards his teammate Danilo on the right.
Although the two have only cooperated for one season in Southampton, because Messi had a tacit understanding with Alves in Barcelona before, in Southampton, the tacit understanding with Danilo was also established quickly.
With a gesture from the Argentine, Danilo knew Messi's intentions.
Southampton soon launched an attack down the left, with Hazard and David Alaba's successive possessions down the left flank drawing the attention of the Inter defense.
Since the Saints' players have excellent personal abilities, especially Hazard and David Alaba, who are top players in their positions, Inter Milan's defensive players also attach great importance to it, investing heavily in defense on the left.
Not to mention, Inter Milan's defense is really tenacious. Even with almost exhausted physical energy, they still successfully blocked the Saints' left attack. Through team defense, the Saints had to pass the ball. Go back to the back line.
It is said to be the back line, but in fact, both Varane and Laporte have already pressed to the center line.
As soon as Laporte received the ball, he immediately passed it to Varane.
Varane received the ball head-on, stopped and looked up, and saw Messi running back and Danilo pressing forward on the right.
Having cooperated with each other for a season, Varane naturally knew the intentions of Messi and Danilo, and directly passed the ball to Messi.
The Argentine's retreat caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan's defense.
To follow, or not to follow, that is the question!
But this time, the timing was not good. As soon as Messi took the ball, Pjanic posted it. This caused Messi to be entangled by Pjanic directly after receiving the ball.
But Messi is Messi after all, even if he was entangled by Pjanic, he quickly used his personal ability to create a gap, directly threw away Pjanic, and passed the ball to the penalty area.
But because of being entangled by Pjanic, the timing was missed, and both De Vry and Juan returned to their positions in time.
When Messi's pass came to the front of the penalty area, de Vrij suddenly rushed up, grabbed the ball before Suarez, and directly cleared the ball with one kick.
Inter Milan once again resolved the crisis!
Seeing that the first cooperation failed to work, Messi couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but there was a firmness in the eyes he looked at Danilo.
Dude, look for a chance, let's come again!
okay!
The eyes of the two passed each other, and they returned to their positions.
With the cooperation just now, the Southampton players also clearly understood Messi's thoughts, and they all began to actively cooperate with Messi.
This is not because Messi has any special treatment in the team, but because this kind of offensive routine that suddenly hits from one side to the other is what Southampton is good at.
Choosing to support Messi now is nothing more than taking advantage of the situation.
The head coach Ancelotti on the sidelines also realized that this might be an opportunity, so he decided to hold down the idea of substituting for the time being, and let's take a look first.
Therefore, the whole team had this idea, and when they held the ball again, they still launched an offensive from the left.
When Hazard, David Alaba and Di Maria have the ball on the left, they are not only trying to break through the Inter defense, but also attract Inter's defensive attention, so the attacking investment is greater .
Inter Milan also felt the offensive pressure from the left side of the Saints and began to adjust their defensive focus to their right side.
Damian, Khedira, and even Aubameyang in the frontcourt actively retreated to defend.
The Nerazzurri's defense is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With the concerted efforts of the players, the Saints' left offensive was once again contained.
Seeing that he had no chance, David Alaba passed the ball back to Toni Kroos again.
Before the German midfielder caught the ball, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, Messi retreated again, and Danilo went up.
More importantly, as soon as Messi retreated, Alex Sandro did not keep up.
With this in mind, Toni Kroos quickly passed the ball.
The ball quickly came to Messi's feet. Toni Kroos's pass was very good. Messi stopped and turned around. The whole process was completed very comfortably and smoothly.
Because when Messi received the pass from Toni Kroos, he already knew that there were no opponents around him.
And Messi turned around and started immediately, leading the ball forward.
At this time, Alex Sandro realized the problem and immediately wanted to rush towards Messi, and Pjanic also immediately abandoned Pogba and rushed towards Messi.
In the process of dribbling the ball at high speed, Messi still watched all directions and heard all directions. When the opponent moved, he immediately followed suit and passed the ball directly behind Alex Sandro.
Danilo is like a dormant cheetah on the right. When he sees Messi passing the ball, he sprints out like a sharp arrow.
In the Inter Milan penalty area, Suarez also ran forward with a tacit understanding, ready to meet Danilo at any time.
De Vrij and Juan Jr. were also facing enemies, following Suarez every step of the way.
Everyone knows that if the Uruguayan gets the ball in the penalty area, it will be dangerous.
But what no one expected was that Danilo changed his attention temporarily, because he saw that Suarez had difficulty receiving the ball under the opponent's key marking. At the same time, he also saw that Pogba moved in front of the penalty area Hand wants the ball.
In this position, in this area, the French midfielder is one-on-one.
Therefore, Danilo quickly crossed the ball.
The ball is almost along the white line at the front of the penalty area, crossing from right to the middle.
Messi was sprinting, but he didn't go to intercept the pass halfway, so the ball came to the top of the penalty area smoothly.
Facing the incoming ball, Pogba stopped, and accurately heard the direction and position of the ball where he wanted it to go. Then he swung his right foot and volleyed directly against the ball.
A bang was heard at the scene, and the ball was like a cannonball that escaped from the chamber, and it went straight to the left side of the goal with lightning speed.
In the penalty area, De Vry made a flying tackle, trying to block the shot. Goalkeeper Handanovic made a flying save, trying to save the ball, and even right back Damian Desperately rushing to the door...
However, it was too late for all of this!
